While this book has basic helpful tips for beginners, I 100% guarantee there are far better books out there for those interested in investing in real estate. The two main areas that were helpful were the sections on the fha loan and 203k loan which only made up about 1/20 of the entire book. Other than that, the author references his personal website multiple times unnecessarily, tells us how he got his business started by then stating it is near impossible to do the same way because of restructured rules and etc, and lastly SO MANY ERRORS in his writing. Just the fact that nobody cared or took the time to look over this book to fix the errors is enough to tell me it is not worth reading. The mistakes included in the photo were just a few of the multiple that were found

I really want to like this book. The content is solid so far and there is a lot of useful information. However, the number of typos, errors, and distinct lack of care that went into producing this book is, frankly, embarrassing. Considering that the author is supposed to be the lead editor of BiggerPockets.com, it's rather ironic that this book is so horribly edited despite this being the second edition of the book. Even the back of the book, where one normally first decides if they want to buy the book, contains typos. It's honestly just distracting and a nuisance to have to deal with.

Would-be real estate investors will learn a wealth of information in this well-written book. Several tools are laid out for you, and while some are a bit technical, the author uses plain English examples to make otherwise confusing tips and processes come to life.

Unfortunately, all great real estate deals rely on the initial seller getting a poor price for their property. Spin it any way you wish ("Clarence sold his home to a wholesaler and escaped the double mortgage payments that were drowning him!" He did, but got 60% of his home's value.), you cannot make money in real estate without somebody else losing money. Sure, there's the house flipping strategy where you buy cheap and restore the property, but even that's a situation where the seller loses because they can't afford the repairs themselves.

To the author's credit, he recommends strictly ethical practices, finding "great deals" notwithstanding. There are certainly a number of dirty tricks that allow a savvy person to take advantage of those with meager means or poor credit. The author warns sternly against these, and gives some genuinely useful advice for creatively investing without fleecing those who are down on their luck.

It is worth mentioning that the author seems genuinely motivated to teach, rather than trying to make his fortune by selling you and endless string of books to teach you how to make yours. Most of the additional resources mentioned are free, and other books mentioned are usually written by other authors.

As with any investment, there are numerous hazards and pitfalls; perhaps more here due to the "no or low money down" approach. But, the author does identify these, and gives appropriate words of warning. Anybody can creatively invest in real estate, but it is clear that not everybody should.

This was my first Real Estate Investing book to read and it was helpful. The way the author explains things is easy to understand, but this also seems like it's more intended for novice investors. I just finished Building Wealth One House at a Time and it got more into the numbers side of things, but still probably more for novice investors. I just started What Every Investor Needs to Know About Cash Flow - definitely more advanced number crunching involved here.

I dipped my toes into the water of real estate investing about three weeks ago, buying my first course online. As a lifelong renter whose parents built their own house, I’m about as new to real estate as they come. However, this book takes you by the hand and walks you through some amazing (and amazingly easy) investment strategies - all with examples using real life situations to help make it click.
